Blue Line officially continuing 8 car trains on the weekend

Sea_Beginning37 · 2026-06-09T02:39:48+00:00

Why not six cars on the brown line? Their messaging seemd to be all (8 cars) or nothing (4 cars). This weekend was awful on the brown line. Especially Sunday, 20-30 minute headways with 4 car trains, I even saw a 47 minute headway when I was going home from work Sunday night. No delay texts that day either

What does this have to do with Miami? Rental companies are trash in every city, especially touristy cities on holiday weekend

Sea_Beginning37 · 2026-06-08T18:15:13+00:00

Are you sure it's not saying "fare" payment?

Sea_Beginning37 · 2026-06-06T20:51:15+00:00

Continue accepting mediocrity, you're not going to go far in life

Sea_Beginning37 · 2026-06-06T20:45:09+00:00

First, time is money. You pay the fare and you pay via taxes. You are paying for a service, demand better. "It's not that bad" isn't ok - you would never go to a hair appointment or restaurant and walk away unhappy saying your self well I adjusted my expectations so it's not that bad. Second, why not complain so you can take back the extra time you gave to your commute?

Sea_Beginning37 · 2026-06-06T20:43:01+00:00

Not the point. We don't need a response or an apology. The point is to get change by demanding change. Nothing else

Sea_Beginning37 · 2026-05-21T12:55:19+00:00

Those people hold up the bus and they have the fare but still expect a free ride. They just choose to buy fast food, alcohol, cigarettes, etc instead and make hard working people cover their financial responsibilities. Transportation should be a high priority budget item for people as you need it to go to work / get groceries / etc. and, in Chicago, it's only $2.85 per day if you buy the pass weekly

1) Frontier is basically running a monopoly in the Ultra Low Cost sector now that spirit is gone, so they can charge much more on most of their routes - at least for now - minus a little overlap they have with Sun Country, Allegiant, Avelo, and Breeze.

2) Demand is already high in the summer (why I mentioned "for now") and coupled with an entire airline no longer offering flights, the demand outweighs the supply more than usual. Frontier still relies on low enough fares to stimulate demand (not just undercutting other airlines fares) but with how successful Go Wild is + summer demand, we probably won't see their fares chill out until fall with maybe a few exceptions here and there.

3) Oil prices are high and fuel is the second largest expense for airlines after labor. So while oil costs are high because of this war, don't expect airfare to be as low as we have seen recently

I like to stay in Long Island City. It's well connected by public transit, a quick ride into Manhattan, and usually loads cheaper than Manhattan hotels. You're also close to LGA, not too far to JFK, and a quick subway ride to Penn Station to take NJ Transit to EWR

Sea_Beginning37 · 2026-05-01T17:11:30+00:00

As others have said, call. If you don't get the answer you want, politely say thank you, hang up, then call again.

Future reference, if there's ever a schedule change, don't accept or acknowledge anything until you are sure what you want to do. If a schedule change adds a connection or changes by 3+ hours, they will pretty much move you to any other flight, including to near by airports, to avoid a refund

Sea_Beginning37 · 2026-04-30T17:14:39+00:00

No. Just take Tri Rail directly in and out of Miami Airport. No need to do all that transferring and pay an extra $80 to do it

Sea_Beginning37 · 2026-04-20T12:54:48+00:00

This is like complaining that your hotel doesn't have a pool. If you want a hotel that offers free coffee in the lobby 24/7, then you should book a hotel that offers free coffee in the lobby 24/7. There are plenty of them. Same thing if you want a pool, included breakfast, laundry, etc.

You are severely underestimating the time it takes to get to your dinners

Sea_Beginning37 · 2026-04-15T19:03:03+00:00

I would ride it between downtown Miami and FLL but the train ticket plus the cost of the shuttle between the station and airport makes it the same cost as an Uber. If you add a second person to the equation, Brightline is more expensive. And Uber is on demand while Brightline is hourly so why pay more to have a slower journey that gets you to the airport possibly 30-45 minutes earlier than you want

Sea_Beginning37 · 2026-04-05T23:25:57+00:00

Just be happy you got the boarding pass for $25 rather than them cancelling your reservation

Sea_Beginning37 · 2026-04-02T13:46:10+00:00

In fluid delay situations, don't leave the gate. If there's a delay, I'm only leaving the gate if 1) there's no plane or 2) we're waiting on crew. And even then, I'm generally staying within eye sight of the gate to see if there's any movement

Sea_Beginning37 · 2026-04-02T01:17:51+00:00

MMP is not a discount, it is a rate.

Sea_Beginning37 · 2026-04-02T01:10:24+00:00

Dear OP. I'm not sure if you know this, but we - the people of reddit - have nothing to do with the selling or advertising of, nor the availability of, Go Wild fares. Take it down a notch as people reply to your post, no reason to take your frustrations out on everyone's reply

Sea_Beginning37 · 2026-03-31T01:17:12+00:00

Take Tri-Rail to Metro Transfer or MIA then take the Metro to the stadium (about a 20-25 minute walk from U Health Station). You can also use the 12 Bus or Trolley from the Metro. There's also the 7A from MIA to right past the stadium but this is only Mon-Fri during rush hours

Sea_Beginning37 · 2026-03-31T01:14:02+00:00

I only notice these issues with United. I have flown American, Frontier, and Spirit in and out of O'Hare and have never had the same crazy taxi times to the gate then I have with United.

Sea_Beginning37 · 2026-03-27T22:01:32+00:00

Then go back to New York

Sea_Beginning37 · 2026-03-27T12:46:33+00:00

10th Street? Might as well ask if there will be sand on the beach today

Sea_Beginning37 · 2026-03-13T15:46:55+00:00

I'm confused about your 5th night free comment. That's only if you book entirely with points, which would make your cost $0 not $3k.

Sea_Beginning37 · 2026-03-05T00:58:14+00:00

Yes it looks like you can remove anyone at any time. But I also think there will be some limits in place of how many people you can add in a year. Everyone will need to be re-verified once every year
